Vacation Donations — Leaving town?

Our regular newspaper subscribers can help schools by donating the value of their newspaper to NIE. When you are going on vacation, call Customer Service (1-800-532-5350) to stop your newspapers for the duration of your vacation and select the option to donate the funds for the value of the papers to NIE. If you put your paper on hold online, just select the NIE donation option from the drop down menu.
